| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil 3000 dollar is pretty ambitious indeed!In front of the Apogee Scintilla's midrange is a 240 uF cap. Apogee already used multi parallel caps in the mid 80's as they constructed this cap out of 24 x 10 uF polypropylene Sprague caps. The Spragues are... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil It sounds better, not louder IME. The multi parallel cap reveals more detail than the single cap, however without becoming a "detailed" cap like for instance some of the very high cost polypropylene's or the TFT V-Cap. Its sound can in particular ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hi Dgarretson,A few pages back I wrote about a sort of bypass-experiment in the tweeter section of the magnetostatic Apogee Scintilla with its two, highly revealing 1,5 m tall and 0,5 inch wide, pure aluminium foil tweeters. http://forum.audiogon.... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hi Frederik,The caps were returned after the test to "De Audiofabriek". This company unfortunately no longer exists anymore so I don't know what has become of the two caps involved.The tests were done in between the fall of 2007 and the spring of ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hi Face,A few posts earlier I wrote:"The system in which the Cast Duelunds, tinfoil V-caps, Jensen Alu tube and Jensen paper tube were tested consists of a heavy modified CEC transport coupled to the Audiomagic DAC (same league as the AN 5.1 Signa... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Frederik,Can you please have a look at my question described a few posts earlier regarding my slightly disappointing experiences a few years ago with the 630 V Cast Cu foil caps (coupling caps in a preamp). The Cast caps had been playing for a cou... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hi Michael and Volleyguy,I know Jimmy's site and I know he loves his Cast Duelunds. Especially the silverfoil ones. Well for the small capital he invested in these caps he really should love them!!The Duelunds are his number one caps, I believe he... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil You're right about the price Michael. Since receiving some rave reviews, including on this site, prices have raised to incredible heights. A pity as the Duelunds no doubt are fine caps but IMO and IME the extra quality compared to that of other fi... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hi Frederik,One 15 uF cap has two soldering joints and 15 x 1 uF has 30 soldering joints?This is correct of course but do you expect a change in soundquality because of the difference in number of the soldering joints? With capacitors in series I ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hi Cady,I haven't got experience with coupling caps. Never tried it out as for this application the experiences in general are not positive with multiple parallel caps. And it probably will be even more worse with multiple parallel caps built with... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil But are all parameters equal Frederik?I've got little technical knowledge on this matter but I would expect the 15 x 1 uF multiple cap to have a (even) lower inductance and resistance than the single 15 uF.All caps suffer from some kind of resonan... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil The difference in score that Tony describes between the Ampohm and Auricap (respectively 12- and 9) makes me expect to hear a significant improvement with the Ampohm...Of course the differences you hear between the caps are very much related to th... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I'm new here, but would like to share the results of an experiment described below that showed to me that a cap constructed out of several, smaller (different value) capacitors put in parallel offered a superior result over the single value cap. W... |
